It was not only the sense of history and of reason, that the two neighbouring peoples newly established their relationships, it was also a European need."
Reconciliation with the West - an indispensable prerequisite for the new policy of communication with the East - especially with the other part of Germany, the German Democratic Republic. In East Berlin, the State Secretaries Michael Kohl for the Council of Ministers of the GDR and Egon Bahr signed the Treaty concerning the basis of relations between the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic after two-year trial period for the Federal Government.

Nevertheless, share them with this contract, the renunciation of violence, respect for the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations the will for peace."
"But the contract may take a decisive turn for the better. His signing takes place at a time of prospective European relaxation. The Treaty itself is at their service."
The border between the two German States remains like the wall in Berlin. But both are more permeable. Should be begun with a number of concrete improvements to normalize the long-strained relationship. Major points of the contract and its supplementary agreement the opening belongs to the States German people in the two "new border crossing for passenger transport" and the "improvement of the cross-border travel and traffic - including tourism."

After all, Very much many children on the road to life, because they have no place to play."
Complaints of urban children - but also by educators. The Federal Republic is not reputed to be a particularly child-friendly country. Always more but the knowledge has prevailed, that "the restriction of the child's living space in the metropolitan area must lead inevitably to physical, mental and social undesirable developments".
Wanted is the ideal playground. Hamburg children from 4 to 14 described or drew him: "forest there should be to climb and camp fires. "A large lawn, there should be no guards there and a Creek for fishing."
"My playground should look like: slide, swing, toilets, wood and tool, old car, climbing tree, water pillow, sand boxes, football pitch, table tennis, railway and roller rink."
"I've seen how some children in the street dirt must play. I would like to ask the Mayor to build a playground. They can quietly spend the few thousand mark, because they have money for guns, roads and houses. I ask you, even to children. But, don't think that you can turn the oldest boards to us."
The adventure playground and its variants are in the most urban children as an ideal travel: Here your imagination and initiative can unfold unchecked: here they interfere not adults — is the place just big enough.
"Some adults say, on a playground, the children make A lot of noise. At my home a playground was abolished once, because A few people have complained."
Architects and builders have planned the child with his wishes in new modern residential centres. Here it means No more: the lawn do not enter the walls not to get dirty on the Court do not make noise.

Cheers for the Argentines, whistles for Germany's Bundesliga stars.
